02Data
What you can sync.
- Virtual machines
- Hosts
- Clusters
- Datastores
- Tags
Put VMware vSphere virtual machines next to revenue and usage, so every cost has an owner and a reason.
Need more? Name any other VMware vSphere data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- A username and password
- An access token
VMware vSphere uses a username and password or an access token. You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in Broadcom if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick VMware vSphere.
Open Lake, pick VMware vSphere in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the VMware vSphere API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the VMware vSphere documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example virtual machines and hosts), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then VMware vSphere data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
